Happy birthday Mum. Miss you and Dad so very much ❤️

Our Story - David Attenborough at the Natural History Museum. Just amazing ❤️

So proud of my youngest - graduated with an MSci (Hons) in Genetics ❤️

Officially have an empty nest. Youngest has been away at uni for the last 4 years but been back for the holidays - he has now graduated and is currently on his way to his new flat far too many miles away for my liking. That is all 4 flown the nest now. Weird feeling 🥺

Happy birthday Dad. Miss you ❤️

The best company on the dog walk tonight ❤️

Very apt present today from my husband on our 35th wedding anniversary (coral anniversary) ❤️

Just got back from seeing this - it is incredible, emotional, devastating and hopeful all at once 🐟🐬

I have read literally hundreds of books - but I always come back to this one. My absolute favourite ❤️

One of my strongest childhood memories is using this china at tea time on Sundays even when my sisters and I were still very young. I love how my parents didn’t hide it away for just the adults to use ‘for best’. Brings back wonderful memories of my mum and dad ❤️

Dog walk with my favourite small person today ❤️

First Mother’s Day without you, Mum. Hope you found Dad and you are together again. Miss you both so much ❤️

Retirement not looking too hopeful at the moment: Pension from previous career is proving illusive (trying to track down who currently administers it), and now all the online pension statements from my current job have vanished. Slightly concerned...

Heading off into the sunset together ❤️ Favourite part of the day 🐕‍🦺

Love how excited my class get when it is their turn for a teeny tiny duck from the advent calendar! They are even naming them - my current favourites are Rah and Henry IX 🐥🐤

You know it is going to be a long train journey when we are packed in like sardines and a man has just announced he is a magician. And yes, he has just got a pack of cards out…. 😩

I always tell the class not to tip their chairs or they will fall off and hurt themselves. They still tip yet never fall. I inexplicably fell off my own chair tonight while sitting properly marking books. Now crawling around the house feeling ridiculously sorry for myself 😩

Just found myself inadvertently giving a ‘teacher look’ to a group of really loud/possibly drunk adults on this train. To be fair, it did actually work and they are being very quiet now… 😳

@corrielb Thank you so much, that is such a lovely thing to say! I know that Katie will make an incredible teacher, and to be honest she would make a success of any career she entered 😁 ps how is she so grown up now!

@TeacherTrees Katie and I still talk fondly about her time in your class and how wonderful you were when I was working in Amsterdam - you truly inspired her choices for year 10 and her aim to become a primary school teacher #perfectteacher
